Chapter 11
Oneechan means older sister in Japanese.
Boris found himself next to Tiffany in her room again as she slept quietly. This time though, it was the pure thought of being able to see her, rather than the pleasing feeling of her heartbeat echoing through him. It was another bonus, though.
He brushed his hand against her soft cheek again, and moved his head forward to meet her lips with his own. Before he could, Tiffany opened her eyes slowly."Boris?" Tiffany asked, her tone slightly shocked. He looked at her. "Uh..."
"Are you going to try that every night now?" She asked teasingly. Boris turned red. He looked away. "No..."
"Was it my heart again? Sorry!" she said.
"No... It wasn't." Boris whispered, too quiet for her to hear.
"Really Boris, I'm sorry... If you want, you can stay here tonight! Just don't eat me while I'm sleeping." She said, continuing with her teasing tone. Boris happily turned back to face her.
Boris's arms were around Tiffany's body which was tucked in him.
"BORIS?" Two voices woke Tiffany and Boris from their sleep. Light shined in through the window. Breaking from their unconscious embrace, Tiffany rolled out of the bed. Boris got up the other way.
"Who is that?" Tiffany asked.
"BORIS?" The voices called again. Boris groaned.
He went up to the door and turned the knob, reluctantly pushing it open.
The twins instantly jumped on top of him. "BORIS!" They shouted, grabbing at his cat ears and pink boa. "Nngghh... Tiffany..." Boris said as he was attacked. The two twins looked up after successfully pinning down Boris. There stood wide eyed Tiffany.
Boris faced her, wondering what shocked her so much. There were two children on top of a cat person, how surprising is that?
Tiffany walked to Boris, and the twins got off him. Boris sat upright, wondering what happened to Tiffany. She plopped down on the floor right in front of him and then …
reached up and started touching his ears! A huge smile spread across her face. "Why didn't I think about this before!" Normally Boris would be aggravated over someone touching his ears, even Alice's touch annoyed him. Yet, something was different about Tiffany's touch. It sent a tingle down his back, a happy feeling of pleasure overcame him as she rubbed his ears. He curved forward a bit, allowing her to reach easier. He laughed at Tiffany's reaction.
"Tiffany, look! He has a tail, too!"said Dee. "Yeah, yeah! Grab his tail!" Boris pulled out his gun and pointed it at the twins, discouraging either from grabbing his tail. Tiffany stopped rubbing his eyes. "Boris? Can I touch your tail?" She asked, with a pleading pout on her face. Boris was unsure. Often, his tail would be grabbed, and it'd send a jolt of pain through him. He grimaced at the thought of it. Alice had hated his cat features, why is Tiffany so different? "G-go ahead." he said reluctantly. He braced himself for the worst.
She touched his tail with just her pointer finger at first. Slowly, she cupped her entire hand around his tail. "It's so soft!" she said delightfully. Boris watched her, smiling as he felt the fun she was having pouring out of her. She maneuvered her hand slowly up and down the tail, sending a ticklish feeling through Boris. The feeling grew grander as she continued, sending little bolts of pleasure up the cat. He accidentally let out a moan. Ba-thump! The sound was had a surprised, delighted feeling to it.
"What was that?" asked Dee. "It came from her!" proclaimed Dum.
Before Boris or Tiffany could react, Dee pulled Tiffany away from Boris. He placed her back on the bed, making her sit upright on the edge. "Uhm..." Tiffany said, confused on what the two kids were doing. Boris got up and walked slowly towards Tiffany, still struggling to recollect his thoughts. Dum stood in the path of Boris, and he looked at the child with a menacing glare to tell him to get out of the way. Dum turned to face Tiffany, and he walked up to her. They both watched, trying to see what the child was doing.
Dum placed his ear on her chest. Boris was shocked and ran up to the child, planning to push him off. How dare he place his ear on a girl's chest? Tiffany blushed pink. She wrapped her arms around the child protectively when Boris got up to them. "Tiffany...?" Boris questioned her moves.
"AWH OH MY GOD HE'S SO CUTE!" she exclaimed. She lifted him into her lap and hugged him tightly. Boris looked on, feeling a bit jealous. Tiffany didn't hold him like that, in fact, she couldn't since he was bigger than her. Dum look delighted. "Onee-chan, your heart sings!" he said. He kept his ear against her chest.
"Hmm. Yours probably sings too!" she said. With that, she lifted him up and placed her ear next to his chest. "It does..." She said in awe. "It sounds like a clock!"
"That's because it is one!" Dee said, pushing his brother out of her hands. "Here! Listen to mine, mine is better!" He pushed Tiffany's face into his chest. "Oof"she said.
"No, mine is better!" Dum pushed Dee and placed Tiffany's face on his chest.
"No, mine!" Dee repeated the action.
Boris, who grew tired of watching the two fight over Tiffany, took the children by the arms and threw them off the bed. He sat next to Tiffany, and placed her in his lap. Tiffany looked flustered. He placed his ear next to her chest, listening to her heart beat. It was fast paced and quite loud. "Louder than Alice's..." he said out loud. He would only be able to hear Alice's heart if he placed his ear directly above it, without any sound in the room. Tiffany pushed herself off him after his comment.
She glanced at him before turning her back to him and facing the twins. "So what are you children doing here?" she asked them.
"Well, at first we were going to kill you." Dee said.
"What?" Tiffany yelled. She took a few steps back, falling into Boris who held his hands out for her. He wrapped his arms around her protectively. They aren't going to kill her on his watch.
"You did pour tea on Alice..." Dum said.
"Yeah! Blood was hecka angry! He started calling you names!" said Dee. Tiffany's face turned even pinker. "S-sorry..." she whispered.
"Vivaldi kept saying 'off with her head'!" Dum recalled.
"You can't kill her!" Boris shouted. After realizing his loud tone, he quieted down a little. "She's the game maker. If she dies, we all die."
"Nu-uh." Dee said.
"Yeah! That can't be true! Why would we all die if she died? We didn't even know she existed until now!"
"Nightmare might be wrong! He's been wrong in tons of incidents!"
"So, the other role-holders are after Tiffany."
"BUT, I think I like her." Dee said. "Yeah, me too!" told Dum.
"Onee-chan, will you ride some rides with us?" Dee asked.
"Of course!" Tiffany said, pushing away from Boris. She took their hands in her own, and guided them to the newest, most dangerous roller coaster in the park. "There's this fun little ride I'd like to ride!" she exclaimed.
"Oh no, not the tea cups!" Dee said.
"Yeah those are boring! We went on those with Alice over a million times!" Dum told her.
For a second, Tiffany was quiet. "We're not riding the teacups! Those are boring, I have something else in mind!" she said, and the boys yippee-ed after hearing this. Boris watched quietly after them, walking after them about five minutes after.
